Exactly. It seems people making the biggest deal out of it are those that want 30" dogs.

Nikon's mother is large but I don't care. Wouldn't be my first choice for size but everything else fits. I like the overall temperament of the dog and would take her home in a heart beat. Also the progeny are all smaller, meaning normal. She's V rated, KKL1, and CH. She might stand out in a ring full of smaller German bitches but otherwise we just shrug at the size.
